mycrypt installed but no change

Question

I am new to the community. I have setup the dns, cname, and now am at the step of having installed the sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt.

However, the browser is still showing Mcrypt PHP extension required.

I am on the default LAMP server provided.

I am using Laravel 4 for the app uploaded through Filezilla.

Thanks,
Stephen

Restart your webserver.

That did change the status, thanks. Now it says Error in exception handler.

All it shows is a white screen that says “Error in exception handler.”

After doing some research I believe it is a permissions issue but do not know how to fix.

In the command line I tried this:

user:~ striker$ chgrp -R apache app
chgrp: apache: illegal group name

ok, the support team said this but I am lost:

Hello,

The error you referenced is due to the web server being “www-data” and not apache. Please review this & attempt once more.

What does this mean?

Apache on ubuntu runs as the www-data user/group, not apache as on RHEL-based systems such as CentOS. So you need to run:

chgrp -R www-data app

restarted droplet

Figured out error exception handler. It was permissions.

chmod -R 777 app/storage
